Back in 2018, the Weekly tapped Chris Jacobs, founder of the Beer Zombies brand and former Blue Ribbon bartender, as the Valley’s Best Beer Ambassador. Since then, Jacobs has held fast to the role. He’s a constant presence at local beer events, extolling the virtues of malted beverages. And in July, he opened Beer Zombies Bottle Shop in a small alcove adjacent to SkinnyFats on Warm Springs Road.
